For Mary Calcatera, moving to The Willows at EverTrue Brooking Park wasn’t a quick decision; it was a thoughtful choice made with her family after years of planning for the future.

After four decades in her home, Mary and her husband were looking for more than just a place to live. They were looking for peace of mind and community — and they found it in warm neighborly support and a vibrant, engaging lifestyle.

Find out why Mary describes life at The Willows as rediscovering joy and connection every day (as featured in our 2025 Annual Report, now found on the EverTrue website) 👉 https://ow.ly/71sK50ZtCGN

Congratulations are in order! EverTrue has recognized seven older adults whose leadership, volunteerism and philanthropy continue to make an exceptional impact in the St. Louis region.

“The Ageless Remarkable recognition honors more than a single moment — it reflects a lifetime of commitment, compassion, perseverance and service from individuals as diverse as the region they support,” said Adam Marles, president and CEO of EverTrue.

These remarkable older adults exemplify purposeful aging, and their stories are an inspiration to us all. See more about these remarkable individuals at https://ow.ly/Y9Uo50ZtCni.

Ageless Remarkable recipients will be formally recognized as part of the EverTrue Ageless Gala on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. (Tickets available at https://ow.ly/rIY550ZtCo0)

What is StillYou® and how does it relate to memory care for my loved one?

At EverTrue, we think your story is the key to providing the best possible care when it comes to a diagnosis of dementia. We deeply believe that each person we serve is still themselves — fully and completely — no matter where they are on their aging journey. That is the at the heart of StillYou.

StillYou is not a program, it is our EverTrue trademarked care model and philosophy of seeing and serving older adults with a diagnosis of dementia. Developed by a team of EverTrue experts, StillYou calls us to recognize everyone’s story, preferences and identity, to provide care that reflects meaning and comfort, and to meet people where they are with compassion and presence.

Thirty-six years ago, a historic civil rights law protecting the rights of people with disabilities was signed into law. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures all people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.

Thanks to building codes and guidance from ADA experts, EverTrue has created communities with accessibility planned for people with disabilities, particularly keeping in mind the accommodations that impact older adults most. We even use ADA concepts to improve surroundings and make life more comfortable for our residents without disabilities.

"These accommodations help residents to maintain their independence and preserve their dignity," said Todd Hageman, a registered architect and Director of Capital Planning & Design at EverTrue. "ADA features enable residents to move more freely and use spaces, like bathrooms, more safely. EverTrue has a long history to fall back on when deciding what is needed: we can look at our past building experience to see what works, what doesn't work and what can be improved."

Question: I’m overwhelmed with caring for my home and my spouse — what should I consider when choosing an independent living home care provider?

Maintaining independence at home doesn’t have to mean doing everything on your own. From companionship and engagement, to errands and assistance with chores, sometimes you just need a little help. EverTrue Anywhere Care offers an affordable, flexible option that gives you control: whether it’s a few hours a week or daily support, EverTrue Home Help is care on your terms.

Steve and Charlotte have been satisfied with their EverTrue Home Help services. “It changed everything,” Charlotte said. “Steve’s more alert and just happier. Just a few hours a week makes a big difference. It also motivated us start the paperwork to use our long-term care insurance. They even helped us with that.”

There’s nothing better in the summer than having a cookout. Whether you’re the grill master or you bring a dish to a potluck, these gatherings are a great way to enjoy time with loved ones and stay active.

EverTrue executive chefs know that eating the right foods — foods that support brain and heart health — are the key to making your summer of cookouts fun and healthy. Be sure to include fruits and vegetables on the menu, have some lean protein options and crank up the flavor (but not the calories) with tasty marinades instead of sauces.

What do playing cards have to do with birthday cards? How do you make a birthday card out of playing cards? We didn't know the answers either!

Thankfully, our talented and creative friend Lisa knew the answers to both these questions and many more! Lisa was back to make cards with the residents of Samaritan, Bethel, and Independent Living this month. The birthday cards turned out so cute and everyone had a great time!

Ellen “Marie” found exactly what she needed at EverTrue Rose Hill House: independence, peace of mind, and a welcoming community filled with friendly faces and endless opportunities to stay engaged.

From wellness programs and outings to monthly luncheons, Ellen embraces every moment. She even became a viral TikTok sensation thanks to her unforgettable “Bobbie done fell!” moment (but don’t worry; Bobbie is just fine).

Samaritan and Bethel Place residents took a tour of the America 250 exhibit at the Peoria Riverfront Museum. What an amazing display!

We learned so much about our history starting with the events preceding the Revolutionary War, the documents and decisions that made our country and provided the framework for the future. Through the Civil War, both World Wars and the Civil Rights Movement. It was an incredible exhibit and we were all happy we went!

Who says you need to be on your feet to dance? Our residents enjoyed an energetic and uplifting chair dancing session filled with music, movement, and plenty of smiles!

Chair dancing is a wonderful way to stay active, improve flexibility, boost coordination, and most importantly, have fun. From tapping toes to waving arms, everyone joined at their own pace while sharing laughter and great memories.

Many older adults want to downsize but they find the process intimidating — and getting started can be overwhelming. Experts at EverTrue help people move into Life Plan Communities and make downsizing easier.

You can get started with downsizing with a few tips, including start small (resist the temptation to downsize your whole house at once), make a schedule, and use the “three-sticker” system to label items to keep, to donate and to toss. 📦🚚

A few weeks ago, Lutheran Hillside Village stepped back in time with a very special resident and staff-curated museum.
From treasured family heirlooms and military memorabilia to keepsakes that tell the story of generations past, each artifact helped paint a picture of the people, sacrifices, innovations, and experiences that have shaped our nation over the past 250 years.
See our video post for a virtual tour. It was such a neat experience for our staff and residents to see this display.
